This! I genuinely feel like I have a meter that runs out when I’ve been around people too long. I have to recharge, luckily the people I love respect it and leave me be.I agree, I have anxiety, and depression and i avoid alcohol because I know it won't help me and can trigger a mental health crisis.
I love to know how some people can turn their social anxiety etc off, go to events and live their best life, and then go back to being anxious again. Obviously I don't have that skill, if I leave the house I'm physically and mentally exhausted after for days
